Where are they sold yogi?

Ok, I should also have said expensive.

Thank you Carl, that is a nice explanation.

Can someone recommend an alternative to H3 37º? They are very hard to find.

Well, at first i got them from Aliexpress just to experiment but now i buy them here: https://www.castrocompositesshop.com/pt/

2 custom blades for a friend of mine The first one is "Apolónia" inspired, but he wanted something a little faster and harder. He also wanted the Portuguese flag in the handle. Limba/Anigre/ALC/Ayous/ALC/Anigre/Limba - 93.0g - 5.95mm - 1370Hz The second blade is "Ovtcharov TC" inspired...

Well, that is very subjective and hard to answer. What kind of pips do you use? Do you play a passive or active game? I think it's easier the other way around, you can tell me what you need and expect the blade to do and I try to come up with a composition. If you want you can PM me with more...

I have never made one because i'm not a pips players and was never got a request for one. But i suppose it wouldn't be a problem.

Yes fanott, the core ply is made of 2 pieces. That's very normal among blade builders because it's very difficult to find pieces wide enough to use a single piece. This has already been discussed in several threads and It doesn't affect performance, if anything i think it even makes it better.

Thank you Nuise. I haven't built many blades for forum users, that's why i don't have much feedback here yet. I have sold mostly locally and those costumers are very happy. If you want to know prices just PM me.

I've made another blade for member Magic_M. This one is my favorite composition so far, but with a straight handle. I'm really jealous of this one, i wish i could keep it :D Limba/Limba/ALC/WRC/ALC/Limba/Limba - 88.7g - 5.75mm - 1170Hz

I'm a bit puzzled that you find the PPP hard and the viscaria flexy, have you tried them with the same rubbers?The PPP is a phony 7 ply, it has a 7 ply structure but underneath the koto is foil. Also, the koto ply is relatively thin. The ones i measured come at about 5.7mm, which is about the...

I'm really glad you like the blade. It was a pleasure to work with you :)

Thank you chintanmashroo! Which blade do you mean? These were all custom orders so i'm not sure about the rubbers but i think the owner of the first one plays with rasanter R47 and the other two play with T05 and M2. I personally use V15 Extra on the FH and Hexer Grip on the BH.

3 custom blades and 3 of my favorite compositions so far: My most popular composition, this one goes to a club mate who wanted a second one. A solid All+ blade with great feeling and control. Limba/Limba/Basalt Fibre/Kiri x3/Basalt Fibre/Limba/Limba - 80.7g - 5.75mm - 1140Hz This is one has...

He was hopeless out there. That fast long serve to the body killed him, the BH opener always went straight into the deadly FH of Chuqin. He has to open with the FH and vary the placement if he wants even a chance to discuss the point.

Chuqin giving a masterclass on how to defeat Harimoto.

And two more custom blades. The first one is based based on a classic composition but with a different, and very uncommon, medial ply. Limba/Ako/Ayous/Ako/Limba - 84.3g - 5.8mm - 1162Hz The second blade has a similar composition but uses Anigre as the medial ply and a thicker core...

Is it possible? More or less. Will it work? No, at least not how you want it to work. Those blades are too far apart, and a combination of both will not play like either, or the sum of both. It will be something entirely different. The Diode has a large face and the apolonia is standard...

This time something a little different. This blade belongs to a very old player and it's from 1950! It had cracked before and the person who repaired it left a very ugly stripe on the surface that wasn't even flush with the rest of the blade, so a mark was visible after the rubber was glued...
